"Squeeze – 17 March 1978 – live at Lyceum, London"

I went along to this gig with some friends who were fans of the headline act Eddie & The Hot Rods, Squeeze were supporting along with The Radio Stars who were in the singles charts at the time with ‘Nervous Wreck’. From memory, Squeeze were on first and despite knowing nothing about them apart from seeing their name often advertised in the pubs & clubs I was frequenting at the time watching other bands, I actually thought they were quite good. I can’t remember the setlist at all but they obviously played Take Me I’m Yours because a few days later I heard it on the radio and immediately recognised it and promptly bought the single. From then on I have seen them (and Glenn & Chris) in every band incarnation up to date.Crikey thats 32 years!

Squeeze followed by Radio Stars followed by Eddie and the Hotrods. My first gig – paid £2 – and nearly crushed to death at the front. It was in the days when Squeeze had a body builder on the stage in thong (as per the cover of the single), but being in the middle of the punk era – everyone seemed to be gobbing at him..wonder where the body builder is now and if he remembers it!

Steven C. on Mystery Squeeze Photo #16Gotta be 1978...most likely somewhere in America, judging by the UK Squeeze moniker. Who and why is a mystery. (My best guess is that it's the mum from "Separate Beds".)
